Don't know if this actually is an error but I tried Lisa installation with a system having Pear OS in a dual boot mode, after creating the logical partitions for mount points and clicking on continue after the Timezone it gives an error creating ext4 . Actually this had also happened when installing Pear on a multi boot system.
Do you think this is an error with the Ubuntu based distro's ?

Re: Lisa installation error
That sounds unlikely; the forums would be flooded with this if it was the case. I suspect there is some issue with relation to your hardware. How did you manage to solve it for Pear OS?
You may try using GParted from the Live session, to setup and format partitions ahead of starting the installation.

Re: Lisa installation error
With Pear I had to remove all the other OS's and install it as stand alone, and the same way I installted Lisa some time back.xenopeek wrote:That sounds unlikely; the forums would be flooded with this if it was the case.

GParted you mean before starting install I guess ?
Re: Lisa installation error
Yes; from the Live DVD, first run GParted and do the partitioning, and only then start the installer.zulfikar wrote:GParted you mean before starting install I guess ?

Re: Lisa installation error
I tried using Gparted in the Live session with Pear Already installed.
Now the problem is it is only allowing Primary partitions and not allowing any extended ones.
It is a 160 GB WD HDD with Pear having the following mount points.
/ 15 GB
/home 5GB
/srv 5GB
/opt 5GB
/var 5GB
/tmp 3GB
Swap 2GB
/boot 100MB.

Re: Lisa installation error
Well, you already have 8 partitions. So you will have to already have an extended partition. You can only have one extended partition.
You will need to increase the size of your extended partition, so it has free space. In the free space inside the extended partition you can then create new logical partitions. Of which you can have as many as you want.
If in doubt, please share a screenshot of GParted on http://imgbin.org/ and post link here.
BTW Are you running Pear as a webserver? Otherwise, for desktop use, having this separation in partitions of the filesystem is overdoing it (/, /home and swap would suffice for a desktop system; or for full disk encryption add /boot).

Hi xenopeek,
The "/" is the primarry partitions and the other ones are "Logical".
I am running Pear as a desktop as opensuse is my server. Ah ok so you mean whatever distro I install in dual boot I try and use the same swap and home , but I always create /var /srv /opt /usr as separate mount points from my old days of linux server setups.
Oops I sorry I included your post too.
